METHOD OF COVERING BOTTLES OR GLASS RECEPTACLES..

Specification 0! Letters Patent.

. Patented Nov. 10, 1908,

Application filed March 4, 1908. Serial No. 419,189.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that. I, \VTLLIAM P. CATL x, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of )Tew York, have invented certain new and useful Imprm'enients in Methods'ot" glass be broken.

T attain the'desired end, my invention further consists in first applying a. coating.

of pulp to the glass receptacle, then treating such coating with a solution to render the said coating substantially impervious to the passage of fluid, and then applying a second coating of pulp over the first coating.

In carrying my invention into effect, I first apply a covering of suitable pulp material to the body of the glass receptacle, then dip or plunge the receptacle with such covering into a solution adapted to resist the passage of the fluid it is intended to place within the receptacle, giving the covering the requisite amount of saturation, and then applying a second coating to the exterior of the first coating, supplying the necessary thickness of covering to the glass receptacle to protect the same against breakage under all ordinary circumstances; but in case the glass should be broken the treating of the first coating will protect the contents of the receptacle, substantially preventing the escape thereof through the entire covering, which in the case of some fiuid-subsznces might be attended with very serious esults.

I claim:

The method of covering bottles, demijohns, cal-boys and the like, which consists in first applying a coating of pulp thereto,

then treating such coating with a protecting solution, andfinally applying a second coating of pulp over the first coating. In testimony whereof Ihereto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses. WILLIAM P. CATLIN. \Vitnesses:
